Set useful initial zoom level (1.10 KB, patch)

Description Thomas Bechtold 2016-09-26 06:36:27 UTC 
When opening the map plugin, the initial zoom level is wrong. The map shows a lot of the world while the picture (or multiple pictures) are usually from a given area. I.e. if you have a folder with picture from France, it would be nice to scale to France (or the area where the pictures are taken).

Thanks, it's a bit unfortunate that it zooms into the middle of the atlantic when you open the map without images having GPS data. I'll see if I can find a solution for that. Otherwise this is good.

    map: Use meaningful initial zoom level
    
    Just be sure that all given markers are visible on the initial zoom level
    but on the other hand, don't show the whole world.

    map: Only set initial zoom if markers are actually present
    
    Otherwise it would just zoom somewhere in the Atlantic.
